Birds are back at Kasavanahalli lake

Kasavanahalli lake was revisited last week. My previous visit to this beautiful lake was in November, 2017, when the much polluted lake was just rejuvenated and birds were reluctantly starting to settle there. I am happy to report that the rejuvenation and conservation activities have worked and numerous beautiful critters have happily settled. Here's a photo tour...
